◎ Introduction
: Although Elijah's complete victory in the spiritual battle with the prophets of Baal clearly demonstrated the power and glory of God, Israel did not use this as an opportunity for change.
※ When Jezebel, Ahab's wife, who heard of the incident on Mount Carmel, threatens to kill Elijah, Elijah flees in discouragement and despair.
(Frustrated by the queen's threat and the unchanging toughness of the people, they flee to the wilderness south of Judah)
※ For Elijah, who is desperate and wants to die, God sends an angel to take care of him, and He entrusts him with a new mission by coming and comforting him.
※ The new mission is to set apart the house of Ahab, who does not turn away from the sin of idolatry, ignoring even the clear evidence of God, and those who will execute judgment on Israel.
※ The content of this chapter is about spiritual stagnation and restoration (19:1~21)
① Elijah became discouraged and fled (1-8)
② God restores Elijah (9-21)
1. Jezebel threatens Elijah (1~2)
※ When Ahab returned to Jezreel from Mount Carmel and told Jezebel what had happened on Mount Carmel, Jezebel became angry and tried to kill Elijah (2).
※ “All that Elijah did and how he killed all the prophets with the sword” This shows that the subject of the work of Mount Carmel is not God, but Elijah.
※ Ahab saw. Elijah prayed to Jehovah God, and he clearly saw that fire fell on the altar and rain came in response. Nevertheless, through these things, they do not recognize God and say Elijah as the subject of these things.
